The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Contrary to the illegal leak earlier this week, the CIA can confirm that U.S. strikes against Iranian facilities did extensive damage, with new information from a reliable source indicating that the country’s nuclear program has been set back by years. The CIA will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide the public with the latest information in the interest of transparency.
Pro-Iran narrative
Despite the U.S. strikes, Iran’s nuclear program continues in earnest. The Iranian government made special arrangements in advance to prevent any disruption to the country’s nuclear industry. The nuclear program will keep progressing, therefore, just as Iran’s national interest demands, regardless of what the Americans think or the munitions they drop.
